The Maharishi AyurvedaSM
Approach to Alzheimer’s Disease

The Raj Ayurveda
Health Spa has developed programs to help prevent the onset of
age-related cognitive disorders such as Alzheimer's and memory
loss, in collaboration with Alarik Arenander, Ph.D, director of
the Brain Research Institute.

Early detection provides greater opportunity to delay or
reverse the existing symptoms of these age-related cognitive
disorders. While currently available drugs are somewhat
effective in reducing some aspects of cognitive decline, they do
not appear to have an impact on the course of Alzheimer's.

Changes in diet and lifestyle are currently the only proven
means of affecting the onset and progression of Alzheimer's. The
addition of Maharishi Ayurveda offers a comprehensive system
of effective interventions beginning with early detection
and preventive treatment program, such as The Raj Anti-Aging
Program.

Early Detection

Alzheimer's starts early in life and
progresses to noticeable declines in cognitive functions, such as
memory gap or memory loss. Early diagnosis provides greater opportunity
to delay or reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer's disease.

The Raj's Ayurveda health team, trained in Maharishi
Ayurveda, uses the ancient technique of pulse diagnosis to
determine specific imbalances in the physiology, many of which
can be asymptomatic. These imbalances could predispose an
individual to the onset of Alzheimer's and other neurological
disorders. This individual diagnosis is a powerful tool for
designing the specific aspects of the treatment program and
recommendations

Don't Let Your Brain "Dry
Up"

Ayurveda states that with advancing age, the
makeup of the brain and body gradually becomes more and more
agitated and dry. Alzheimer’s is often associated with
marked shrinkage of the brain. This "drying" effect is
a powerful tendency that must be remedied by proper diet,
digestion, routine, and rejuvenation programs offered at The Raj
such as the Anti-Aging Program.

The Raj's Ayurveda Health
Consultant also offers individualized recommendations to regain
balance in the physiology, nourish the brain in the effort to
counteract the natural "drying" influence of the
brain, and establish optimum levels of mental and physical
functions. The Raj Anti-Aging Program offers treatments of
herbalized oils that create a deep nourishing influence to the
brain and to the entire physiology.
